International communities today regulate the human rights issues under the international human rights protection systems, ceasing to consider the human rights of a country as its own domestic problem. This concept includes the North Korea's human rights, which has now developed to be an international concern and should be dealt with on the international level.
Concerning this, international human rights protection systems are composed of the present multi-nationally agreed treaties such as international human rights protection systems and international system and implementation procedure to realize those treaties. The systems of the international human rights protection consist of UN human rights protection systems centered on the Commission on Human Rights, regional human rights protection systems of Europe, Inter-America, and Africa and the human rights protection activities of the international NGOs
This thesis aims to deal with the North Korea's human rights under the international human rights protection systems and by doing so, seek for the way to improve the North Korea's human rights which has surfaced as the international issues.
Based on the analysis of the already existed texts concerning the human rights, this thesis investigated the North Korea's human rights violations and furthermore, the implementation procedures and activities of the UN human rights system and the international human rights NGOs which are considered to affect directly on the North Korea's human rights,
To suggest the practical applications for the improvement of the North Korea's human rights, this thesis analyzes implementation procedures of the UN human rights systems and tries to show how human rights NGOs can be contributed to the improvement of the North Korea's human rights.
Based on these concepts, after the brief introduction of the purpose of this thesis, chapter 2 focused on the characteristics of the North Korean regime judging that the North Korea's human rights violations are due to its own political system and looked into North Korea's own concept of the human rights through laws and systems.
Chapter 3, according to the classification method of Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Covenant on International Human Rights, divided the North Korea human rights conditions into the civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights and studied the reality of the violations on each rights. It mainly dealt with the North Korea's laws and systems and the real applications of them in the perspective of the universally accepted regulations for the international human rights protections
Chapter 4 sought for the international human rights protection systems applicable to the North Korea's human rights problems. The access was limited to UN human rights systems and NGO which are accepted to affect on the North Korea's human rights problems practically and directly. This chapter tried to analyze and apply the 1503 and 1235 procedures of the Commission on Human Rights and the Sub-Commission to the North Korea human rights, and looked into UNHCR in relation of the human rights of the defectors from the North Korea. And it also studied the NGOs' activities for the improvement of the human rights and their influences in relation of the North Korea's human rights violations.
Chapter 5 tried to suggest the methods of presenting the North Korea's human rights violations, making the point that they should not be ignored any more.
First, it noted which body should be considered to present the North Korea's human rights violations and that the objects to be presented should be decided on the basis of which body presents them as the presentation method. That is, if South Korean government and national and international NGOs should be considered as presentation bodies, and each objects also should be decided as humanitarian issues and other sensitive human rights issues.
There is a risk of repulsion of the North Korean government in case of the government-level presentation on the North Korea's human rights issues by the South Korean government. But the governmental presentation on the humanitarian issues seems to be effective. That is, the South Korean government should consider the positive method of presentation on the humanitarian issues such as separated families of North and South Korea up to 1,000, prisoners of war, fishermen abducted by the North Korea, KAL crews, and so on.
And in case of national and international NGOs' presentation on the North Korea's human right issues, it is thought to be more effective then that by the South Korean government. If NGOs choose the UN human rights systems for presentation, sensitive issues such as the human rights violations in the camps for the political prisoners, 'public executions', 'secret executions' and so on can be presented unofficially. Furthermore, humanitarian issues which were stated above, freedoms of residence and movement, freedoms of speech and the press and freedoms assembly and association can be presented officially through 1235 procedure.
On the other hand, if NGOs attend the international NGO conference and present the North Korea human rights violations, they can form the common opinions on the North Korea human rights violations among NGOs and join together. Therefore, they can make the direct influence on forming the international opinion.
In conclusion, the presentation on the North Korea human rights issues should be made in the most rational way both by NGOs and the South Korean government.
